Kate Beckinsale told SCI FI Wire that her real-life fiance, director Len Wiseman, is currently writing the script, but keeping it a big secret. “It’s under lock and key at the moment, but I know that they’re definitely talking about it,” Beckinsale said in an interview while promoting her next movie, Van Helsing. “There’s lots of furtive reading of scripts in the bathroom. So I think they’re writing it, but I think they don’t want to get me involved in case I freak out about something.”
Beckinsale will again play Selene, an assassin (or “death-dealer”) charged by her fellow vampires with hunting down and killing the bloodsuckers’ mortal enemies, werewolves (or Lycans). Beckinsale’s Underworld co-star, Scott Speedman, has also already signed on to reprise his role in the next movie.
